"At Home with Julie & Barb"
9/28/09

This is our dog Penny! She laughs! Isn't she the cutest thing? She just turned 8 and we had her birthday party at McDonald's. She just loves french fries. She has been part of the store since the beginning. You may not see her (because she would lick you to death) but she visits when we are closed. Her big tail now seems to knock too much merchandise over but she loves to run in the hallway.
Well, Fall is in the air and we have a busy week coming up. As you may have heard, we are decorating a home for the Hinsdale Housewalk this year on October 4. It's great to be represented in another town. The Wheaton Housewalk has been postponed until the Spring (April 30). Then I (Julie) am off to New York with my daughter to celebrate her 16th birthday. This trip has been in the works for 2 years and it's finally here. So much to see on a long weekend. We will be visiting NYU, Columbia and FIT. Plus we will be doing some shopping and other sightseeing. The Big Apple in the Fall....awesome! Hope to see you all in the shop for your Halloween decorations. We have a great selection of Fall florals this year too! Customer comments have been excellent so I think we did good!!! See you soon.
